I am tired!
4 days of shopping like a compulsive shopaholic with my partner (so Aileen calls my colleague, Keiko) and we are simply exhausted. Shopping is fun when you shop for yourself, buying stuff you like. But it is definitely not fun when it’s part of your job and you have to return them after 1 week. In these 5 days I can safely say that we have brought enough bags and shoes and clothes to open a boutique ourselves. No wonder my editor named my section as my “BIG PROJECT”. Yea, I’ve learned my lesson and will never be this ambitious ever again.. until I get more help.. and a bigger car (or I might need a truck!)
After 4 days of carrying enormous piles of “harvest”, I could hardly feel my hands and legs. But I’m thankful for the little bright things that brighten my life. I met up with people whom I have not met in a long time.. Be it a few minutes or even seconds, it was refreshing enough. And the best thing today was, I had a kind helper to help carry our harvest, well, at least one load of them. Thank you. (Oh yea, I forgot to thank you in person.. better send you a message now, haha!) Yup, they say once a month, I’m like a rich lady, shopping and “harvesting” loads of bags and shoes and clothes.. but I feel more like a maid or a butler (a manservant) with 5 bags on each arm.. It really was refreshing to have a guy carrying stuff. As he said, it was like a movie of a rich guy carrying stuff for his shopaholic girlfriend.. Only he never imagined there were so many bags. LOL..
Yup, I’m grateful for a friend like you. What are you thankful for this day?
